Recently purchased a home last year. It was a shortsale arms length open market transaction that took almost half a year for the lien holders to approve. To our surprise, we received a notification of supplemental assessment from the county early this year. They reappraised the property and decided to add another few hundred thousand dollars to the value of the property over the final sales price. We have contacted the assessor and couldn't get them to budge. So now we're left with trying to appeal the assessment. Has anyone else experienced a similar situation? Is this a normal practice for the county?
